Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who has been sanctioned by the West, has bragged on his news channel Telegram about a Cybertruck from the American company Tesla. He received the ‘Cyberbeast’ from Tesla boss Elon Musk…
“A truly invulnerable and fast animal,” claimed the head of Russia’s Chechen republic in the North Caucasus. After a tour of the Chechen capital Grozny, the 47-year-old appeared on the truck with a machine gun and ammunition around his neck. He said with a laugh that the “cyber beast” would soon come in handy in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Kadyrov has been criticized internationally for serious human rights violations. Civil rights activists also accuse the staunch supporter of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin of murdering political opponents, torturing prisoners and kidnappings.
Kadyrov whitewashes war crimes
The ruler himself appoints family members to public office and, with the tacit approval of the Kremlin, repeatedly and demonstratively breaks the law. In addition to the clip for the Cybertruck, which is expected to cost more than 100,000 euros, Kadyrov also distributed footage of Ukrainian war victims and prisoners.
Like hundreds of members of the Russian power apparatus, he is subject to Western sanctions. The video is also a reminder to the West that the rich and powerful in Russia can still obtain luxury goods that are banned from entering the country due to sanctions. Such imports are arranged through intermediaries abroad. Kadyrov, for example, has excellent connections in the United Arab Emirates.
Kadyrov: “Elon, thank you!”
In his clip, Kadyrov said: “Elon, thank you!”, although it was not clear whether it was a gift. He also invited the billionaire to Chechnya. “I express my sincere gratitude to Elon Musk! This is, of course, the strongest genius of our time and a specialist. A great man!” Kadyrov said. He immediately fell in love – with the car.
